We'll wait a few days for builds to get more stable before trying anything, but it's important that you know it so if you use any of these profiles locally, your usual way to build will probably fail. If you're actually using those profiles and don't know how to deal with Tycho mirroring, please read [1] and feel free to ask questions if you're not sure about something.

And if one day bug list [2] gets fixed and released, we can make it 540 lines (including 90 lines of doc) without removing any of its features.
